On the back of a first Royal Ascot success, and firmly on course for a career-best season, the thriving trainer speaks to Mark Boylan of the Irish Field

Stepping up to 10-furlongs for the first time, the Paddy Twomey trained One Look needed every yard of that trip when staying on late under Wayne Lordan to win the Group 3 Al Shira'aa Racing Meadow Court Stakes (Fillies & Mares) at the Curragh.

Paddy Twomey and connections of Carmers are working back from the Betfred St Leger with their Queen’s Vase hero, as they plot the best route to Doncaster in September.

PHENOMENAL FILLY, fifth behind Ballydoyle's Composing in an often-informative Curragh maiden towards the end of last month, was sent straight to the front in this maiden won last year by the Group 1-placed Exactly and in 2021 by the eventual Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Homeless Songs.

Colin Keane was seen at his best when getting Elana Osario up in a thrilling finish to the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, the feature on day two of the July Festival meeting at Killarney.

The Paddy Twomey trained No Alibi stepped forward from her recent maiden win to land the opening Dillon Waste & Recycling Rated Race at Limerick.

Carmers and Billy Lee provided trainer Paddy Twomey with a first Royal Ascot success

The Paddy Twomey trained Sky Captain stayed on best under Billy Lee to win the concluding Jimmy Murray Agri Services Maiden at Roscommon.

Paddy Twomey saddled his first Royal Ascot winner when Carmers preserved his unbeaten record to land the Group 2 Queen's Vase under Billy Lee.

Owned and bred by Joe and Marguerite Joyce, Royal Entry got up close home in the Boylesports Irish EBF Ulster Oaks Fillies Handicap, coming from last to first under a power-packed Billy Lee ride.

Cork native Paddy Twomey who trains in Tipperary has enjoyed a productive period on his forays to Cork Racecourse this season.  That trend continued at the Mallow venue on Friday evening where Magical Hope landed the featured €60K Group 3 Darley Munster Oaks Stakes.

"He's a very talented horse and ran in Cork off a 500 day lay-off on quickish ground for him. I thought it was a very good run on the night and the form has been franked since," Twomey reflected.

Long-standing Yorkshire owner/breeder Reg Bond had a race run in his memory at York yesterday and today his familiar black and yellow livery were carried to success by Billy Lee on Admiral Churchill in the Coco At The Arcade Race at Listowel.

Starspangledbanner colt Pharos Freedom (7/2) made a winning debut in the Tipperary Town Maiden over an extended 1m4f to seal a treble for Billy Lee and a double for Paddy Twomey.

“The extended nine and a half furlongs will be no problem for her. I think on soft ground she’s a black type filly.”

Cork native Paddy Twomey, who is based in Golden in County Tipperary has enjoyed a blistering start to the flat campaign.

Paddy Twomey's Carmers continued to impress when booking his Queen’s Vase ticket with victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Yeats Stakes at Navan.

There was a buzz surrounding the debut of City Of Memphis on Tuesday evening at Cork and the filly who topped last year's Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up did not disappoint.

Arouet reversed places from his debut run at Cork with Nautical Force to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 3YO Spring Series Median Auction Race, the €30,000 feature at Roscommon.

Purchased at Arqana’s Breeze-up Sale last May 11 for €150,000, the son of Calyx today chased the leaders, quickened well to lead inside the final furlong and scored easily by four lengths from Chester Nimitz

One Look made a winning seasonal reappearance for trainer Paddy Twomey when staying on best inside the final furlong to win the Lodge Park Stud Irish EBF Park Express Stakes (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) at the Curragh.

Paddy Twomey has sent out four winners, two seconds and a third from his last seven runners after Currawood continued the trainer's hot streak with a commanding success in the median auction race over a mile. 

Leopardstown's opening fillies' maiden on Wednesday has produced some luminaries in recent times and Robert Moran's Catalina Delcarpio (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) looks another as she surged to TDN Rising Stardom.

French recruit Bubble Gum made a winning start for Paddy Twomey in yesterday’s Listed EBF Noblesse Stakes at Cork.
